AUSTRIA and Hungary have a perfect

ports of a rupture are unfounded Be
tween Kalnoky, of Au.tria and Tisza, of
Hungary there is perfect accord. The

what means he became acquainted with

The criminal records Of this state do
not seem to approve the wisdom of SO
free exercise Of The pardoning power as
has been INDUCED in by Governor Ireland
during the past two years OF his admin
istratiOn. A wise and merciful use of
the pardoning power is one of the great
est privileges Of power; an indiscrimin-
ate use of that privilege results only ia
evil to those for whose benefit it ia ex-
ercised, and in time causes a reaction Of
feeling against the exercise of the par
doning power at all, thus preventing its
elemenoy In those cases in which it
coulu and should be interposed.

MUNICIPAL NEEDS.

Now that the new year has come TO
stay and, the holiday season being over.
business resumes its woBted channels 1t
is time TO consider what changes are de-
sirable and practicable during the year
JUST opening. When this city was in Its
childhood 1t was we'll enough for lite
business and government to speak and
act as became that childhood; but, II
ever, the time has come to put away
childish things and enter upon such a
municipal life and business life as will
become a manhood condition. Busi-
ness life is doing this. Rapid strides
toward more modern and American
methods of business have been taken
during the past few years, and our busi-
ness men are fully alive to the needs and
necessities of their trade. In the quality
and volume of the stocks held In all our
leading mercantile houses San Antonio
Is not one whit behind the best cities OF
her class east or west. In the provision
made for the education of her children,
she has shown commendable enter
prise and just appreciation Of the i'm
portsnce Of educational work. The fu-
ture promises more than the past has
shown in this direction, because the
present is more full of the spirit and
genius of modern educational methods
than any past has been. In the charac-
t-r Of the school buildings, school appli-
ances and all connected with school
work, this improvement is visible and
the hopes OF the future are enlarg d and
strengthened thereby. The same is
true Of church work and beneficiary and
philanthropic undertakings. In these
the promise Of the Things that are TO be
Is made plain. In the adornment of pri-
vate grounds and dwellings and the SUBJ
stsntial character Of private improve
ments there is every encouragement for
those who desire to see our city the peer
Ofany, the superior Of most. Ii Is In
the character Of our municipal enter
prises that the lack is most plainly mani
fest. San Antonio is Il gen.
GRAFTON behind the times In the
character of her municipal work. She is
Il century behind the times in her ideas
OF municipal duty, responsibility and
service. She has not comprehended
that her work as municipality is work
OF care and concern for the heal b,
lives and comfort of her people, rs well
rs for their protection fiom the knife of
the assassin or the hand OF the robber.
San AntoniO's common council owes
every citizen, from the meanest to the
most honorable, the most perfect health
conditions, the most rigid enforc ement
OF all sanitary measures. the most COM
plete system of drainage, sewerage,
street cleaning, lighting, and all else
that modern science has demonstrated
as practical. There Is no excuse for her
not providing these things. II there is
no money on hand with which to pro-
vide these necessary benefits for our
citizens, il is the business of the council
TO provide such means, under the pow
eTs to them granted. II such powers
are not granted by existing statutes,
then il is of the most pressing import
ance that they should be, and that with
out moments unnecessary delay.

The bugaboo that Corpus Christi has
been soaring herself with turns out to
be very innocent straw man Of her
own construction. The sober second
thought has shown her that the Arkansas
Pass railway management could not
have any interests antagonisric to her
growth and development. or this fact
Corpus Christi certainly needed no for
nal assurance. The formal assurance
IN any case could not stand; for. the facts
of location. capital, trade, and int rde-
pendence of interests by which her re.
lations with the Arkansas Pass road have
been, are and will be determined, alone
can settle their mutual relations. Cor
pus Christi must make or unmake her
own future By wisely increasing her
own Importance and enlarging the vol
ume OF her trade she will make herself
OF more and more necessity to the car
ryIng companies that touch and handl
her commerce. and by doing this, max
Ing her interests aud theirs one, she will
tie them TO herself with hooks of steel
